have tried searching forum for answer. gettin unable to connect message when trying to test network, connected thru router. basically want to watch, view, listen to files stored on network? Please help someone!!!!!!!!!
How is your router assigning the dbox an ip address - is it via dhcp? To get the dbox ip : presss dbox button then settings then network then show active network settings Note the ip address - this is the ip of your dbox. stick http://ip_of_your_dbox into a browser and see if a page comes up. if this works then get back to me and i'll proceed from there if not , try to ping the dbox via your pc: On your pc(i'm assuming windows) Go Start > run and type "cmd" (without quotes) hit return and when the prompt comes up type the following ping the_ip_of_your_dbox hit return and see if you get any errors To record stuff onto your hard drive you are going to need some extra software - likewise to stream to your dbox. but first you need to be sure the dbox is connected to the network. let me know..
hi adm1, thanx for reply. typed in ip and i've got a page. using netgear wgt624 v2 router, and its showing orange light on the port that dbox connected to if that helps????
